in this very tight budget, it's a big challenge. we dealt with some cuts that had to be dealt with, but how we balance this with personnel and ensuring that we have a robust system and making sure the benefits are there, at the same time how do we balance with some of the infrastructure. i have a more detailed question that i'll submit for the record, but that's the gist of my question, how will you manage that to make sure we have the fighting men and women that we need but at the same time deal with some severe budget constraints. so i'll just submit that for the record, if that's okay. >> okay, senator. thanks. >> thank you very much. good luck. >> senator graham? >> thank you, mr. chairman. congratulations on your nomination. i know you'll do a good job, and your family is proud, and this is a special time in your life. but iraq. there are increasing reports coming from iraq that iran is introducing weapons into iraq and to shiite hands, iups and more rockets. is that generally true? >> i've heard both general austin and others
